Equipment

  • large skillet

Ingredients
  

Seafood

  • 1 pound shrimp, thawed & peeled, tails optional

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon flour
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped or julienned packed in oil, drained

Vegetables

  • 1-2 cups fresh baby spinach packed
  • Handful fresh basil, cut into thin strips

Seasoning

  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Prep your shrimp (if frozen, add them to a colander and run under cool water until thawed).
  • Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the flour and cook for about a minute, stirring until smooth.
  • Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
  • Stir in the cream, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer for 2 minutes. Reduce heat if it's bubbling too much.
  • Add the shrimp and cook for around 5 minutes or until they're cooked through and the sauce is slightly thickened, taking care not to overcook them.
  • Add the spinach and basil and cook for another 2 minutes. Season with salt & pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
  • I like to squeeze extra lemon juice over top when serving (up to you). You could also grate some fresh parmesan over top if you wish.

Notes

Feel free to use more or less sun-dried tomatoes than suggested. I use sun-dried tomatoes that are packed in oil and drain the oil before use.
